Beverly grew up in the Roseland community of Chicago. She attended Chicago Christian High School. Beverly met the love of her life, Wes Mesman, after he returned from his tour of duty in Vietnam. The newlyweds settled in the Northwest Indiana area where they raised three children together. Stephanie, Todd and Kim’s many accomplishments were a huge source of pride for Beverly. She loved to tell her friends all about their latest achievements. Beverly and Wes were married for 46 years.
Beverly attended 2nd Highland Christian Reformed Church for years and was currently a member at Community United Reformed Church in Schererville, IN. Beverly’s greatest joys came from her faith, family and community of friends. Beverly was a skilled quilter and would often present finished projects as gifts for special occasions. Anyone who had the pleasure to dine at Beverly’s table will never forget her kindness, grace and delicious chicken pot pie.
For those of us who knew Beverly she will always be a stalwart example for how to love the Lord, how to have a beautiful marriage and how to be a loving Mother and Grandmother.
